54 The Bulletin. 



It must be remembered that many insects may be found on cotton 

 plants which are not really enemies to the crop. Some may be merely 

 resting, or may be seeking shelter from weather or hiding from 

 enemies. In the preceding pages we have tried to discuss those which 

 have attracted attention as actual pests and have mentioned also 

 such others as are most frequently suspected of injury. 



The writer will welcome correspondence with cotton growers who 

 make use of the suggestions given in this Bulletin, and who care- 

 fully watch results. He also desires to be promptly informed in case 

 of any outbreak of any cotton pest not mentioned in these pages.
